If your relatively heavier, it will be easier to lose that weight. But if your weight is already in pretty good range, it will be much harder.:)

Or look at your whole eating habits thing and ensure you have a good healthy eating plan... Then even rougher at first is the encouragement into a permanent new lifestyle of exercise. SO.... Try 15 mins early morning on the treadmill after breakfasting on oats or summat and again of an evening do a full workout here till you can do up to 40 mins good cardio and sweat hard. have 2 days off in a week. never eat less than 1200 calories... search fit buddy for the ''basal metabolism calculator'', drink loads of water.. Set other goals like in a two week period you will get your heart rate up to 10bpm more than before on the treadmill, or do a 10 min mile,, or manage 100 situps in 4 minutes. Every achievement gives you your reward
